    Question

    Nine identical cubes, each with edge 3 cm, are joined in a straight line to form a cuboid. What is the total surface area (in cm²) of the resulting cuboid?

    A.

    342

    B.

    541

    C.

    298

    D.

    448

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Number of cubes = 9
    Edge of each cube (a) = 3 cm
    Formula Used:
    TSA of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
    Solution:
    When 9 cubes are joined in a line:
    Length (l) = 9 \times 3 = 27 cm
    Breadth (b) = 3 cm
    Height (h) = 3 cm
    TSA = 2(27×3+3×3+3×27)2(27 \times 3 + 3 \times 3 + 3 \times 27)​​
    TSA = 2(81 + 9 + 81) = 2(171) = 342 cm²
    So the correct answer is (A).
